Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: Lojban "r"

Ok, all this "e" as in "let" stuff is killing me so here:
http://cinch.fm/lbergen/275225

Admittedly, I got a little sloppy on the last word (cirlrfu) but I attribute that to the fact that my tongue is still getting used to trilling and back-to-back syllables with "r" in it are like an obstacle course for my tongue (ta'o still expressing relief at having sorpreka to save me from having to say sorprekarce .u'i)

Also, listening to myself again I think I screwed up on the emphasis... oh well.

I definitely pronounce the first "e" in "better" differently to the
second "e", so I'm not sure this works for me at all. Took me some
time to stop pronouncing "er" in lojban words as "yr", as this is how
I normally pronounce it in English. I agree with Luke that it should
rhyme with air (or mostly rhyme), at least in my dialect.
